I want to learn how to play the guitar?

6 Comments

ive played the piano for 8 years, im pretty good. i wanna learn how to play the acoustic guitar now, but im clueless. like, completely clueless. can i get a good guitar for $200 or under? i dont really want to take lessons, because it will cost more money, but i wanna learn guitar really badly. is it hard to learn on your own? sorry i asked like a million questions but i am so clueless..

If you are just starting out, First Act, makes a decent, not great guitar. They are okay for a starter guitar and they are not expensive. A good guitar is going to cost a little, but I found it was worth it. I love my acoustic. It is a tough instrument to self teach with the cords, so take it slow and learn the basic fingering. That is what I did. Since you have music in your background it will help because you know how some things are supposed to sound. Guitar music is in treble clef so, if you can read that already you are off to a good start. Get some beginner books and/or dvds. They can help.

    i like electric guitars because they have a variety of sounds and the strings are closer to the neck, so it is easy to play.i like to play leads and fingerings, so i like the strings close to the neck, you may like to play all chords which you can set it up away from the neck for more sustain.i like les pauls, but if you get an acoustic take guitarist with you to check it out, if its hard to play, you might not stay interested. in the meantime check out musicians friend catalog, they have the best prices.

    If you want a good guitar, check craigslist. often times it’s better than new and half as cheap. Good guitars for beginners are taylor big baby’s, martin backpackers, takamine jasmines, as well as guitars by washburn, ibanez, fender, and eiphone. For lessons, you can’t really get past real lessons, because most computers can’t tell you exactly how to hold it, etc., but guitar for dummies for computer is really good. I recommend just going to used book store and getting as much cheap software and as many books as possible
